Now I remember why I liked this place so much.. Haven't been around for a while, life happens at the strangest of times.. Here are my Soviet military w/o import stamp, a Casco import Model 59, 1966 E. German, and a PW Arms Bulgy with the smallest of import stamps.


Nice to see so many Makarov lovers in one room. :)

It is dated 1966, yes. I actually have two other Maks, but they don't look like much so one stays in my truck and one rides my hip once in a while. It's got tons of holster wear and I find that I'm starting to like look. It looks like a veteran.. ;)

Newb to the Mak community here. Picked these up on GB last week for under $500 between the two.

IJ70-17A


and this one which I am assuming to be an IJ70-18AS. It has the satin chrome finish is marked 9x18

Can anyone help me identify it? The "types of makarov's" thread mentions an -18AS but I haven't been able to find any information on the satin chromed/nikel plated finish on a 9x18. I've only found info on the -17AS in .380. It was imported by Big Bear Arms, Dallas TX. Any help confirming would be great.

This thread discussed the 17AS...(mine is pictured)...

Here is a picture of my non-import Russian Makarov. It is dated 1966. It has much jungle wear and had one matching magazine with it(#2 mag) with serial number matching pistol. I have fired it and it works great, 100% function. It may not be pretty but you just don't see these around.

It is one of my last Makarovs left. I had an excellent collection about 7 years ago, 2-Chinese, one was military one was police, two unissued Russian consecutive numbers (import marked) and two Bulgarian military (one import marked) and a 1960 EG. It is one of my biggest regrets that I sold all but my Russian and EG.

My only Makarov...1961 LSA marked EG with the early style grip and lanyard attachment (through the bottom). Doesn't really fit in my collection but I had to pick it up because the finish is so amazing. Beautiful bluing on this that's tough to capture in photos.

Guess I may as well join in here. New to the Makarovs, but one week end I got two off of gun broker. No one else even bid on these two.

Aarsenal - Held by a collector whom never fired it. Came with all original items and an Armorers kit with new barrel even.




Circle 10 - Second one of the day. I put the original Bulgarian Grips on this one. Thing is next to new.








So, I only wanted a shooter and one to carry. But darn. These were just too super nice. Still needed a shooter. So I bought one of those AIM shooter grades. And I will carry this one after enough practice range time. Far, far nicer than their pics showed. Thank You Aim!!!!!


In all three cases, I figured I would get what I paid for. Probably well holster worn like I see so many for sale at the prices I paid are. Yes, I am plesed with what I bought in a Mak.
